well, it's that usually the winter in southern brazil is not only cold but humid and rainy. thursday have been a relief.

Thu. 7/19/12 9:48am
doca:
and for those who think brazil is a tropical country, the thermometer now topped at 10º celsius, or 50 F. a warm winter day.

@doca: Brazil is a huge country, roomy enough for wildly different climates. Then again, a coworker taunted us by sending pics of his hometown -- Santos -- in winter with a temperature higher that what we had in yet another rainy "summer" in Paris

I've had my first introduction...this very day...to The Shaggs. And I love them. And will request them now and on any show anytime.

Clear and, ahhhh, upper 60s here, after a few days of the heavy muggly.

which song has twin peaks dialogue in it? I didn't catch the full story.

@doca: I'm in France, not the US. Summer so far has been cloudy and rainy, with temps breaking barely 20°c, sometimes. Where are you in Brazil?

Faye:
craigness-- it's the 1st track of the show, Hyperborea by Biosphere. they have another song with Twin Peaks dilogue on it on that same record-- Substrata

@doca I haven't heard the whole record yet but I really like what I've heard so far!

Thu. 7/19/12 10:05am
doca:
@fred: i'm in porto alegre, on the south tip of brazil (the southernmost state capital etc etc), but i thought the heat wave was everywhere. a friend of mine said that tuesday in lisbon it was 39º C (!).

Thu. 7/19/12 10:06am

@faye thanks. I only just tuned in and caught the end of what you were saying!

@still b/p: The Shaggs are amazing, aren't they? I'm pretty sure that I actually first learned about them through Faye, either directly or indirectly (I can't remember which).

Thu. 7/19/12 10:21am
fred:
@doca: I'm not complaining, to tell the truth. Anything close to 30°C is just horrible in Paris, with the crowded trains and pollution.
Brazil seems to me to be an interesting place, but not for the usual reasons. I like that no matter what anyone looks like, he or she could be from Brazil.

Thu. 7/19/12 10:39am
doca:
@fred: i just thought it was funny. i was talking with this friend of mine who is in lisbon about if there's a portuguese "type", not on the facial characteristics (like, i'm sorry, a french nose), but a cultural one, like the argentinian male mullets. she said she haven't discovered it yet. but now i'm adding "brazilian shoes" to the list.

Thu. 7/19/12 10:44am
fred:
@doca: there was a lengthy explanation of what made it specific, but I spaced out about 10 seconds into it. Never thought that would prove useful someday. My source would probably loudly object to it being a "portuguese" trait though, even while applying for Portuguese citizenship

@Fred: a touch of freelance but nothing "real" as yet. Been so busy with print for 20+ years, never gave a damn about digital media/web design, so that's gonna slow things. But as long as I have my 128k stream, the hunt goes on!

@doca: he sure had an opinion about what would be a female facial Portuguese type

Thu. 7/19/12 10:53am

@fred: he had? is that in brazil we are always kidding that the portuguese women all have moustaches. it's a kind of former colony fun.

Todd-o-Phonic Todd on a an instrumental interlude in one of his garage classix:
"THIS SONG WOULDA BEEN A CLASSIC IF ONLY THEY'D TAKEN THE SAXOPHONE PLAYER TO THE PARKING LOT OF THE RECORDING STUDIO....AND STRANGLED HIM" --(must be said in the best TOT voice)

@doca: of course that's what it was. I've met a lot of people from Brazil, Portugal, and Argentina. I know better that taking seriously whatever you guys say about each other. Seems like you do too, I had an amazing laugh-fest with two guys (one from Brazil and one from Argentina) outdoing each other in insults/bragging while buying each other rounds.

@frenchee: I can hear him saying that, and that's one of the rare times when the use of all-caps was justified.

Thu. 7/19/12 11:10am

lol, @fred, I know. I try to keep the caps to a minimum but in order to impart the Toddness, you gots to do it.

@fred that's OK. i'll be wearing my new swagshirts all weekend but i expect to get zero recognition... that's just the way it goes in helsinki... even if Ken is a huge fan of finnish music

If Faye's played Shaggs, I didn't know it. A search shows they've been on a handful of FMU playlists when I was probably listening...but I was never fully Shagg-struck until this morning when a friend linked me to 'em..said they were the favorite band of a long-ago girlfriend.

"upstate new york" is usually a euphemism for "buffalo", but used in polite company and over the air

@fred: i'm sorry, i went to lunch. but i guess "latin americans" still can joke about themselves, although there's a growing resentiment. i just hope there will never be any race-based prejudice like those who plague europe and other places.
and btw, i was watching tour de france now. beautiful landscapes.

Thu. 7/19/12 11:41am

@FVH: There's a Seven Second Delay (aka 7SD) T-Shirt out there. If either Ken or Andy sees you wearing it, they have to pay you $2

@doca: Unfortunately, I think you already have the seeds of that plague (sorry for the mixed metaphor). I saw that in France decades ago, you know what it led to. It would be devastating for Brazil, and I hope you've had enough exposure to diversity to know better, but I won't misunderestimate stupidity again.

Cheri said it right at the start and it's been true throughout the show, a dreamy feel.

Great show Faye.

@fred: yeah, i just hope so, although brazil isn't the most egalitarian place right now. but now i have to go, thanks for the conversation, until next week.
@faye: thanks for the show!
